We'd also like to institute our own rating system. If you like a particular artist's music then please thank the poster; to give others an idea of how popular they are.

Lots of bands listed thus far, but very few thanks given? Does that mean that no-one rates anything listed thus far?

C'mon people - if Martin is to have his chance of hoisting his trouser waist up under his armpits and make (even more) controversial comments, you gotta thank!

Some Cowellisms to help you all concentrate:

“I met someone the other night who's 28 years old, and he hasn't worked a day since he left college because he's pursuing a dream he'll never, ever realize: He thinks he's a great singer. Actually, he's crap.”

"If your lifeguard duties were as good as your singing, a lot of people would be drowning.”

"You're useless, I'm bored - yes or no?”

“Shave off your beard and wear a dress. You would be a great female impersonator."

“Why are you having a normal conversation with him? This is a dairy farmer dressed as a woman.”
